About GL Decorating
A trusted painting and decorating team serving Bruntsfield and Edinburgh, built on quality workmanship and honest value for over 30 years.
Over 30 years of quality decorating
For over 30 years, GL Decorating has provided a high-quality, professional and reliable painting and decorating service carried out by our skilled tradesmen. What began as a small local decorating business has grown on the back of word-of-mouth recommendation and repeat custom — the best sign that we get the important things right.
As well as our roots in the North East of Scotland, our Edinburgh and Lothian division brings that same standard of work to homes and businesses across the capital, with Bruntsfield and the surrounding south-side neighbourhoods at the heart of what we do.
Our aim is simple: to give you the confidence that your project is in reliable, experienced and honest hands — without paying extortionate prices. No matter how large or small the job, we operate to the highest standards and take immense pride in our work.

Advice that saves you money
One of the services our customers value most is our help in choosing colour schemes and finishes. Drawing on decades of experience, we offer honest, practical advice that often removes the need for an expensive interior designer — and helps you avoid costly mistakes.
Because we understand how important timetables are, we always give you a realistic timescale for completion and stick to it. And while we work to the highest professional standards, our prices remain genuinely competitive: quality work combined with real value for money.
